"This is the first general work to be published which considers the entire history of English literature from the viewpoint of the book-collector... For the benefit of collectors and would-be collectors [it] Quayle describes the points to look for and the pitfalls to beware, covering every area of this absorbing pursuit. Beginning with the earliest printed books, he discusses novels and romances, poetry, drama, science and medicine, travel, natural history, early children's books, detective fiction and a miscellany of specialized fields - old bibles, books on sport and cookery, and erotica. There is a chapter on binding, and a comprehensive glossary of technical terms" A handsome gift book 144, illus [some col.] glossary, abbreviations, index.
